Volunteer Opportunities
There are many ways to volunteer at Second Story. Maybe you have something you would like to do at SSWC and want to see if it is a good fit or maybe you want to volunteer and aren't sure what sparks your interest. We would be happy to have a conversation with you to see how you can come volunteer in a way that feels meaningful to you. We want to offer you an experience that you feel good about!
FRONT DESK
We are currently looking for individuals to help out at the front desk to allow the Volunteer & Administrative Support Coordinator time to focus on events, volunteer coordination, and other activities. The individual at the front desk is the first point of contact for individuals coming into and calling the centre. It is important provide a space where individuals feel supported and welcomed regardless of the reasons that brought them to our organization.

TAX PROGRAM SUPPORT
Second Story Women's Centre is proud to be a part of the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. We are not a professional, fee based tax service and therefore do not give tax advice or answer follow up questions. Our role is to sit with clients and help them by entering their information into a tax program, submitting it via e-file on their behalf and then printing a copy for their records.
You do not need to have a financial background to help with this program, however, it is a benefit if you have filed your own taxes before. We are looking for you to commit about 3 hours from your home to go through a few online workshops. These are not scored and there is no testing, they are basically just a review of basic tax filing tips and info on any changes for the year. Following those few hours, you let us know how much time you are able to commit and we will schedule tax clients based on your availability.
